Hey I was wondering if you knew much abou Nec PC9821 laptops. I have
the Ls 150 S1 D2 Aile model with port replicator and floppy/dvd module.
I have tried debian woody but the install is all in Japanese...is have
tried loadkeys from prompt on a terminal within the installer. I can
barely make it through fdisk....beyond that I'm lost. The laptop had
japanese win 95 on it initially...I've tried freebsd 5.x.x and I get
everything installed then the kernel faults on boot. I need info on this
laptop in english so I can atleast know how to get into the bios, how to
make a boot floppy or get access to system floppies, and how to get the
unit to boot from cdrom. I tried emailing Nec and they told me I have to
be in japan for support of the 9821. I have Japanese windows 98...I'd
much rather run Debian or a Bsd on the box but if all fails help windoze
will suffice.

Please Help Me

Been working on this unit for 2 yrs and much progress but little
success, ie kernel faults and japanese language barrier.
